MARS SQUARES JUPITER: & VENUS TRINES JUPITER:
MARS SQUARES JUPITER: & VENUS TRINES JUPITER:
On Monday October 19th at 1:38 A.M. EDT we have another of the Mars squares we’ve been dealing with these past few weeks. Today we have a plethora of transits that each has its own persona. I will discuss them separately, but in fact they are all of a piece and will interact creating a complex atmosphere.
This Mars square Jupiter is very energetic and can manifest is different ways. First of all it tends to increase our sense of optimism and enthusiasm. People often feel a jolt of vigor and power, especially if this hits sensitive points in your chart. You may feel almost omnipotent for a short time and believe that you can take on a great deal. That may be true, but once this passes that energy will dissipate rather quickly. Enjoy it while you can, but don’t make long range plans or make too many promises based on this fleeting aspect. There is also a possibility that any difficulties you are having may be exacerbated. Mars is, after all, the god of war and Jupiter tends to exacerbate anything it comes in contact with. If there’s an ongoing dispute it could be blow completely out of proportion. But if you keep things in perspective and don’t let them get out of hand this can be a very useful and positive day. Because this completes in the wee small hours of the morning its effects will be felt more strongly Sunday night. But Monday morning will begin with this and the Venus trine Jupiter still effective.
On Monday October 19th at 3:35 A.M. EDT this very pleasant combination of the lower and higher benefic planets gives us an underlying sense of good feelings and a desire to interact. With Venus in trine to Jupiter today this can be a nice day for all social activities, as long as you keep the Mars square Jupiter in place and don’t let your ego get in the way you should be able to enjoy this. Enjoy the long walk in the park or the socially distant brunch, but leave the politics outside. A social breakfast or perhaps a phone call to a distant friend will be most enjoyable.
